P-pop is known for its boy bands, but girl group 4th Impact is looking to shake up the industry. The former X-Factor finalists recently released a new song about moving on and it’s definitely something that all can relate to. The four-member collective’s new single “Tapat Sa’yo” is inspired by their own personal break-up stories and focuses on having to go through pain to rebuild your sense of self from the ground up.
“Tapat Sa’yo” also features contributions from renowned K-Pop producer Lee Oh Won, the man behind some of the biggest hits from SHINee's Taemin, Stray Kids, TVXQ, Wanna One, and SB19. Check out the heartfelt ballad below.
Two days of exciting performances, building community, and celebrating the rise of P-Pop happened this past weekend, and fans can't wait for more to come. The PPOP Convention made its official bow at the New Frontier Theater and the Araneta Coliseum on April 9th and 10th.
The two-day event held a convention portion on the first day that included fan booths, merch sales, performances, and more. The performance line-up for that day had some up-and-coming P-Pop groups making waves with their recent debuts.
If you missed the show and want a peek at some highlights, PPOP Con recently uploaded a Day 1 video that gives you a taste of the event and performances at the New Frontier Theater. Check it out below.
Day 2 of the event was the main concert at the Araneta Coliseum. This day brought some of P-Pop's most talked-about groups to the stage for a history-making concert.
MYX's very own VJ Ai was the host of the night and shared some great behind-the-scenes photos directly from her camera roll as she waits for official photos from the event. Ai solo hosted the event and helped keep the crowd and show moving, entertaining 17,000 seats at the iconic Big Dome.
There is no doubt that P-Pop is continuing to rise and this convention has proved that Filipino Artists are out here ready to break barriers globally with the power of music. Stay tuned as more official videos roll out and we continue to update this article.

The international girl group, 4th Impact first made waves in the UK after competing on The X Factor has and since then has peaked at No.10 on iTunes Brazil with the 2020 single, "K(NO)W MORE," but they're back with a new anthemic single. Their latest song, "Here We Go" is an upbeat track that blends R&B and hip-hop energy with diva-like vocals.
Last year, the girl group co-headlined alongside SB19 for the crossover orchestra concert, Forte that earned them praise for blending classical sounds with P-pop music live. Since then the sister group joined Sony Music PH and Show BT PH which has been a dream come true. Their comeback track was produced by Choi YoungHo (Handsome People) and Zrademusic (Adrian K, Methuselah K.) who helped the ladies venture to this new direction.
“We once prayed for a management who will really take care of us and believe in what we can do. We feel ShowBT and Sony Music are the right companies to help us reach more of our dreams. And it is such a great honor to be part of their roster and be lined up with the P-Pop Kings: SB19.”
Their goal for this song is to make it anthem celebrating Filipinas around the world. In a statement, 4th Impact shared how this was their first time writing a song. "It’s an empowering song that aims to celebrate Filipinas all around the world, and how they’ve shown grace and excellence amidst troubling times.” The accompanied music video shows off the sass and confidence of 4th Impact while singing lyrics inspired by their life stories.
We wanted to empower everyone, especially Filipino women, to believe in themselves and hold on to their dreams. Everything is possible if we just work together as one.

Ever wonder what it takes to be part of a musical group? P-pop girl group, 4th Impact shows us behind the scenes on their rehearsals and performances with SB19. The ladies have been working hard and polishing their choreography and vocals for their performances on the variety show, Showtime and the SB19 Our Zone Anniversary Concert.
We catch a glimpse of their huge performance at Araneta Coliseum as the show openers, but they shared that one day they'll be back for their own show. Let's start manifesting and while we're at it, how about a 4th Impact x SB19 collaboration?
The Anniversary Concert is one of the biggest productions they've been a part of yet, but yet they fiercely held their own and proved they're ones to watch.

If you think you've heard SB19 do it all, wait until you catch The Forte: A Pop Orchestra Concert as they'll be going classical. The group will be performing with an orchestra for the first time. We've heard them perform songs acoustically (and it's amazing!), but nothing beats hearing renditions with a full orchestra band. Can you imagine what it'll sound like, one word: angelic and you wouldn't want to miss it!
The Forte: A Pop Orchestra Concert also features the Battig Chamber Orchestra with girl group 4th Impact, Nicole Pugeda, Isaac Iglesias, and the SSC Chamber Choir. If you haven't heard about 4th Impact yet, originally from Santiago City, Isabela, they competed on UK's The X Factor and finished in fifth place. So we're hoping to see a collab between SB19 and 4th Impact in the show!
There will be two shows available to stream worldwide on October 21st with the first show set for 11AM PHT and the second show begins at 8PM PHT. All proceeds made from the event will benefit Sr. Baptista Battig Music Foundation, Inc. Grab your tickets now at ktx.ph and www.fortetheconcert.com
